Thank you for this video. I've been using Thunderbird and addons for yonks. When the company changed to Exchange email, I tried Outlook but settled for Thunderbird plus the Owl addon. Thunderbird's email search feature (both the quick and the more advanced) are superior. The problem is that Thunderbird changed something over time which means that some of the really useful addons (e.g. Attachment Extactor, Mail Summaries) no longer work and development isn't continuing. The solution has been to have separate installation of an old version (68.9) in which the addons still work when they are needed.

I have been using Thunderbird since the beginning , I actually have always prefered the old school as you all consider dated intereface....it's always been stable, simple and have everything i needed...... not once has the program ever crashed on me! so glad they are still supporting it and hope they don't change the intereface to drastically in future updates.

Pretty folder colors. Just what I really wanted.

I use Betterbird when I need to use GPG, and Mailspring when I don't. Otherwise, the Thunderbird UI is just too painful for words. Buttons on different rows, one row with "filter" and the other with "search" (and what's the difference?). And then finding the magic three lines maybe an inch below the titlebar and an inch in from the RIGHT side of the screen that contains the hidden menu. And for the name of all that's holy, why are we still limited to a single line of preview with the subject and author of the email in the message list?? Fortunately, with b102 they've finally moved the buttons for the calendar and contact list off to the far left as a vertical button bar. Unfortunately, MacOS came up with the right recipe almost 20 years ago. Stop trying to jam your calendar and contact list into the email client. Three separate applications doing three separate jobs. Each app is light doing exactly what it needs to do. I very much want them to clean the UI up and go back to being the preferred client for Linux. Features? Oh, yeah. By far the most feature complete. So far, they're the only email client I've found that works correctly with GPG keys on smartcards. They've just fallen too far behind in the UI unless I really have to do something that's really REQUIRES Thunderbird.

Indexing when mails are downloaded on already large mailboxes still takes an insane amount of CPU and often looks like it makes the main thread wait... so there's still a lot of room for improvement next to which the GUI may be a nice touch, but not a fundamental one.

2 things that i hope get addressed in your UI & Code overhaul 1: Why can't we just drag and drop the email view on the bottom to the right side? That's way more intuitive than going in 2 submenues. 2: Why do the quickmenu icons on the left side *also* open tabs? That's redundant, those menues are then 'open' in two places at the same time. it clutters up the tab-list, sliding in between important emails. Making it hard to navigate around, or requiring one additional click to close the tabs again.

One time I sent an email with Thunderbird and I was notified that the formatting, especially the table, are all broken. I'll wait until at least the Sync update for me to try it again, because that wasn't fun.

It's like a good dress, tight where it needs to be tight, and loose where it needs to be loose. All the other email clients with so called good looks are the opposite. Empty space around buttons etc. And not enough space for you to read emails. Everything cut short, and emails where you also need to scroll sideways. Each to their own, but emailing needs to be practical.

I love Thunderbird because I can back up my email, and I can write programs to search and process certain emails.

I'm using it as my personal email client for many years. Outlook doesn't look that great to me either, hardly intuitive, I use it daily for work. Thunderbird is simpler but still plenty capable for my needs though I must admit I don't use email all that much anymore. I've got K9 on my tablet which is similar in the dated looks department, but plenty functional. I use thunderbird mainly for archiving email. Is there an official dark theme? I've tried many themes but few look good.

But does it store tour emails on a computer? In example, in case of a Mac? Or do all email clients store the email on device?

Thunderbird is my favourite.

I'm afraid the search feature is still a mess. That's the main reason I stopped using it...

Question: It looks like Thunderbird has Bayesian span filtering now. How well does that work for you?

The only thing that matters is how well and easy does it connect to Exchange server, as its always a PITA even if you use outlook, especially for company self hosted servers

My problem with Thunderbird is that it will show an email multiple times in the list and when you delete one, the others remain and can't be viewed or deleted. Restarting Thunderbird will make them disappear. I just upgraded to the latest version and the problem remains. I've been using emClient because other than Thunderbird, it's the only other client that I've found that has a password to open the client.

Problem: When using the consolidated unified view, the spam shows displays in the inbox even though it is in the spam sub folder. They are marked as spam, yes, but whole point of filtering spam is to have them NOT be mixed in with your good emails.

When an application tried to please people that aren't its users, they're just pushing away existing users.

I quite like the default mail app on Windows 10/11, however as Microsoft is forcing us to migrate to "New" Outlook, which is a clunky mess with intrusive adds disguised as emails, I am looking for an alternative desktop email app, as email should never live in the browser, and Thunderbird seems like it's probably the best alternative that's out there.

I have to give Thunderbirb devs massive credit for making a FOSS email client that *just works* with all my email accounts, more so than any other app I have tried. My one problem with it is that the interface is very dense and busy, even when you adjust the density it doesn't really help much. I really wish they would make it look like every other contemporary email client that has a nice tall preview of each email so only a handful fit onto the screen vertically. It looks much better and actually reduces my stress levels as I don't have to look at 40 unread emails at once. Please devs, add an option for this layout. Other than that, it's a fantastic app.

Features and stuff is really great but I still think it looks like it comes from 2003.

Even Outlook looks better but of course it's not FOS which for many is a must. Personally, I've switched to webmail, just find it way more reliable and useful.

Does it have Support for Exchange Online now?

This client I also favour and am a long time user. Can anyone tell me what is going on? I send an email with a photo attachment say 2,3Mb and it informs me that it is 23Mb and if I wish to continue? Is it Thunderbird multiplying the size I send or the gmail? What can I do?

I stopped using TB like... 8 years ago, and switched to closed sourced, paid, em Client. Why? Because I have 10+ email adresses, each with *thousands* emails. Also some Exchange/Office 365 emails, and multiple calendars. The problem with TB, at the time, was that all the emails were stored in a single file. Is that still the case nowadays? There is a huge file per mailbox, which would take multiple gigs of space. How is that a problem you may ask? The issue is that adding a new email becomes exponentionally slow, since the entire file needs to be re-created. Same with deleting, moving, an email, etc. So, in my experience TB used to work for small inboxes, but not with millions of emails. Then TB starts to freeze and to trash your disk. That was 8 years ago, I'm willing to come back. Meanwhile I tried Evolution on Linux, and this client supports my use case without problem.... except for the shit UI and bugs. So... has the INTERNALS of TB changed? Last time I checked their source repo, people mentioned the same design flaw I suffured from, and the devs said they'd never change this. So, almost a decade later, has the working design of TB changed? Can it support millions of emails? If not a new layer of paint ain't gonna change a shitty design.
